Fortunately, there wasn't much bleeding after the arrow was pulled out, otherwise I would have been in big trouble.
Zhang You thought thankfully, not noticing that Wei Qian stiffened for a moment when she approached him to bandage the wound.
"Alright, but your wound is in your abdomen, so you can't do strenuous exercise. When you go hunting in the next few days, you'd better be careful not to pull on the wound."
Wei Qian agreed gently, then remembered that she was being hunted, and asked curiously, "Did you offend someone? Why are there assassins chasing you?"
Zhang You thought about it. She had no direct evidence to prove that Li Xianyu had done it, so even if she told him, it would be useless. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either." Zhang You paused and said, "Why is Master Wei here?"
Wei Qian looked at her and changed his words to: "I heard that Princess Dingjia is missing, so I came to help look for her. Did you find her?"
Zhang You became anxious when she mentioned this. Not only did she not find the people, she almost lost her life. She didn't know whether Dongmei and the others could find them.
"We haven't found the princess yet, but we found Sister Jingzhu. She's injured and unconscious, so we haven't had time to find out the princess's whereabouts."
"Injured?" Wei Qian keenly sensed the problem.
"Well, there are not only scratches from wild animals, but also arrow wounds. I just don't know if the one who hurt her and me is the same person."
"The voice he just spoke sounded like a eunuch. If the person who hurt you is the same person, then the master behind him must be from the palace..." Wei Qian's first reaction was the emperor. The emperor had repeatedly suppressed Prince Qiao's Mansion recently, but this trick didn't seem like his work, so...
"Is it Princess Xianyu?" Wei Qian guessed.
Zhang You was startled by his words and looked at him with confusion in his eyes, "Why are you guessing about her?" He should not know about the conflict between Qiao Si and Li Xianyu.
Wei Qian thought, in fact, what happened between you that day has already been known to everyone.
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. There is probably no one in the capital who doesn’t know about the tit-for-tat between the two overlords.
"I heard yesterday when I was having dinner with my colleagues that the princess and the princess had a very unpleasant argument. But if this happens, the princess will be in great danger."
"So we need to find the princess as soon as possible." Zhang You had almost finished resting. "Can you leave now? We should go back and reunite with them as soon as possible."
"Okay." Wei Qian stood up and found a way to leave here with Zhang You.
"Why are you still holding this arrow?" Wei Qian looked at her still holding the arrow in her hand, feeling a little amused.
"This? I'm afraid there are some clues on it, so I'll just take it back." If there really are any clues, that would be evidence.
They didn't choose to climb up, the slope was too steep, so it was better to take a detour and walk back. The two walked for a long time, and Zhang You didn't take the initiative to speak. If it weren't for this accident, they probably wouldn't have had any contact at all, so it was better not to get involved any further.
Wei Qian noticed a change in her. After not seeing her for so many years, she had become much more reserved and less cheerful. "You've changed a lot over the years," he said.
"Really?" Zhang You just replied coldly with two words and had no interest in continuing the conversation.
The air was silent for a moment, with only the sound of their footsteps. Wei Qian looked at her walking beside him, feeling like something was missing. He glanced at her waist and realized that she no longer carried candied fruits with her.
"I remember you used to love eating preserved fruits. Why don't you have them with you now?" The purse that once contained preserved fruits now contains medicine for wounds.
Zhang You was silent for a moment. After a long while, she finally said with a dejected voice, "I don't like it now."
Wei Qian's words reminded her of her time in Dingzhou. She once had a friend who loved eating dried fruits just like her. But one day, she was gone, and she felt that the dried fruits had lost their flavor, so she simply left them there and gave them all to her...
Wei Qian noticed her sudden drop in mood and realized he might have said something wrong, so he quickly changed the subject. "I promised to wait for you to come to the capital and take you to Zuixianlou to try some delicious food. How about I treat you when we get back?"
Although it sounds very exciting, but... forget it.
Zhang You glanced at the person who enthusiastically invited her and said, "No, the princess hasn't been found yet. I don't want to think about this."
Wei Qian didn't expect that he had changed the subject in the wrong direction. He apologized in a panic. Zhang You knew that he didn't mean that and didn't blame him. But this made the relationship between the two of them completely quiet.
They didn't know how long they walked before they finally returned to the woods that Zhang You had walked through before. Someone was calling Qiao Si in the distance, and Zhang You couldn't wait to go over and meet them.
Wei Qian knew that it would be easy to attract criticism if the two of them appeared together as a single man and a single woman, so he said goodbye to her here. After watching her walk towards the light source ahead, he left with peace of mind.
The journey for Zhang You and Wei Qian was very awkward.
The air was too quiet.
I have no idea what to say.
Because of Qiao Si, Zhang You didn't want to get too involved with them, so he didn't respond to him.
Now that I'm finally out of that atmosphere, it feels so good.
Zhang You heard Chunhua's voice from a distance. When she got closer, she found that she was accompanied by two male guards. Chunhua saw Xia He and ran up to her excitedly and asked, "Xia He! Are you okay?" Chunhua quickly discovered that Xia He had a neck injury in the light of the lantern. "How is it? Are you seriously injured?"
Zhang You looked at her like this and thought that she had disappeared because of her appointment with Dongmei, causing them to worry. She quickly spoke to comfort her, "It's okay, it's just a little scrape. I've already bandaged it."
But Chunhua's frown didn't relax. When she saw that the two guards didn't come over, she whispered in her ear, "Qiuyue and I also encountered assassins. Qiuyue has quietly dealt with them. What's going on with you?"
Zhang You then told her about the killer's situation, and then took out the arrow for Chunhua to see, but she couldn't figure out what it was, so Zhang You put it away again.
During Zhang You's disappearance, Chunhua and the others had already learned about Qiao Si's disappearance from Jingzhu. She then told her, "After Dongmei brought Sister Jingzhu back, she woke up. She said that she and the princess encountered a tiger on their way back. They could have escaped on horseback, but Li Xianyu and his men blocked their way."
Sister Jingzhu risked her life to clear a path for the princess, allowing her to escape. Li Xianyu immediately led people in pursuit of the princess, but she was entangled by a tiger. After barely escaping, she fainted in the woods. Fortunately, she met you in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
